A fox, an owl and a caterpillar.

Your tail is a trick

a finely tuned instrument

wafting out of sight.

 

 

Blessed with silent flight

seizing life with taloned grip

secret as the night.

 

 

Green caterpillar

the size of a pine needle

bridged between two leaves.

I like these. The fox one is very lovely indeed based on its tail. What about just ‘bridge’ re the caterpillar if you’re not sure about ‘bridged’? :)

Bridge is better, makes it more visual. Thanks onemorething.

I liked them too. Bridged seems one syllable, but bridge does read more easily anyway. Rhiannon
